Chapter 91: Bread is Better Than Face!
As the waiter said, Jenny's order was quickly served.
Li Xuelin didn't know English, so he didn't know what Jenny said to the waiter, but when he looked at the breakfast that filled the whole table, his eyes were about to pop out.
In his heart, there was only one thought: this foreign aunt seems to be quite knowledgeable, but he never expected that she would be a big man who likes to slaughter!
Thinking of this, he looked at Song Mu's eyes with more and more gratitude.
Liu Xiaoping was not as reserved as Li Xuelin, she asked directly: "Mrs. Liu, will we order a little too much?" ”
"Not much," it was Han Yangqiu who answered her: "I don't eat breakfast in the rice country, I look too much, and I can't eat enough." ”
As the only person in the elite group who grew up in the United States, Liu Xiaoping naturally believes in his words.
Although Jenny didn't understand what top food meant, she could understand that she couldn't eat enough, so she also explained: "In the rice country, they generally eat separately, unlike Huaguo, which likes everyone to eat together." So you can't taste everything. I wanted everyone to try it, so I ordered it all. ”
Although her Chinese dialect is a little strange, everyone can basically understand it, and if you look closely at the food on the table, it is really the same.
Liu Xiaoping pointed to the only kind of bread that had been ordered eight portions with some curiosity and said, "Mrs. Liu, why is this the only one that orders so much?" ”
"This toast is the ...... of this restaurant Uh, the feature? In short, it's the best here. Jenny explained, "I want everyone to have one. More for Jeff...... Belch...... How to say ......"
She tried in Chinese for a long time, but the result was unsatisfactory, and in the end she had to speak English, and Han Yangqiu served as a translator to talk to everyone.
Through Han Yangqiu's translation, everyone understands the reason for this.
It turns out that Jeff, the tailor shop owner mentioned yesterday, must come here every morning for breakfast with cinnamon cream toast, a habit that has been unstoppable for decades.
Because of the relationship between the old customers, this store will even leave two copies for him.
Jeff is a stubborn old man, and his popularity is not very good. So when Jenny says she knows Jeff and is ready to tease him, the waitress sells her all the cinnamon cream toast.
"As Mrs. Liu said before, Jeff is a stubborn person. He generally does not accept insertions for the sake of principle. Han Yangqiu translated the last paragraph: "Although Mr. Liu's face may work, for the sake of safety, Mrs. Liu decided to use breakfast to make a double insurance. ”
Everyone was amazed after hearing this, and Liu Xiaoping had an even more puzzled question: "Didn't you say that you haven't come to this restaurant to eat?" How do you know this clearly? ”
"My good sister told me this." Jenny said, "At one of the afternoon tea together. ”
"And how can you be sure that this trick will work?" Song Mu asked.
"It was originally uncertain, but now it is certain." Jenny blinked, "I never told the waiter that my friend was Jeff?" ”
Song Mu thought about it carefully and found that Jenny really didn't mention Jeff's name at that time, but the waiter's performance showed that more than one person must have used this method!
At this moment, a well-dressed old man came in from outside the door, and after the old man entered the door and shouted "old rules" at the waiter, he didn't say anything more.
Because he shouted so loudly, almost everyone in the restaurant was attracted to him.
The old man didn't care, and walked to an empty table in the corner.
The waiter also walked out from behind the counter in response, not only did she not take anything in her hand, but she also squeezed her eyes at Song Mu, as if to say, "Are you ready?" ”
Jenny smiled back, and the waiter went to the old man's side and whispered a few words, then he saw the old man stand up, looked around the store and said, "Which guy bought my breakfast again?!" Don't you hate this kind of bad joke?! ”
Jenny was not angry when he said that he was bad, but kept smiling and waved at the old man: "Jeff! Over here! ”
Jeff followed the prestige, and was stunned for a moment after finding out that it was Jenny, and then showed a helpless expression, walked to the table of Song Mu and the others, and confirmed that there were no less than two servings of cinnamon cream toast on the table, and then sat down unceremoniously and said, "Mrs. Defoe, you don't need to make such a joke with me, do you?" ”
"I'm sorry, Jeff." Jenny first apologized sincerely, and then explained: "Maybe you don't need it usually, this time it's a bit troublesome, that's why I did such an excessive thing, and I ask you to forgive me." ”
Jeff couldn't help frowning, I'm afraid it would be really troublesome to get the wife of the president of the Film Science Society to say something troublesome.
He had the heart to refuse directly, but he couldn't let go of the delicious food in front of him, so he had to ask stubbornly, "I don't know what the matter is?" You might as well speak up and let me hear it. ”
Jenny nodded, but just as she was about to speak, she remembered something, she looked at Han Yangqiu and Li Xuelin, and asked them in Chinese: "I forgot to ask yesterday, you two, do you want to order one?" ”
Li Xuelin glanced at Han Yangqiu, and then looked at Jenny, a little undecided. Although he brought a suit, he felt perfect when he was in China, but after arriving in the United States, he felt that it was not so perfect when he looked at the clothes of the people on the street.
Seeing that neither of them said anything, Jenny simply switched back to English and said to Jeff, "I would like to ask you to make two suits and three evening dresses for my friends before the statuette awards." ”
"What?!" Jeff's eyes widened and he said incredulously, "Five dresses in three days?" How is this possible?! ”
"Eat breakfast first, it won't taste good if it's cold." Jenny pushed a cinnamon cream toast in front of Jeff and said in a consultative tone, "Jeff, your family is the best tailor in Billy Hills, so it's definitely okay to add a few more sets, right?" ”
"It's not a question of if, it's a question of credibility!" Jeff complained to Jenny as he ate the cinnamon cream toast, "If you are in a hurry to add an order, for the sake of Mr. Defoe's face, I can accommodate you too." But God, you want to add five orders, and you have to do it in three days! Then I'm going to almost stop all the orders in the store! ”
"I think you've already finished the clothes for the awards ceremony, so it should be okay to postpone the other orders for a few days, right?" Jenny spread her hands, then gestured to the bread that Jeff was eating, "I know it's a bit difficult for you, that's why you made this decision, didn't you?" I heard that you never owe favors? ”
Seeing Jenny pointing to the cinnamon cream toast, Jeff seemed to suddenly deflated the ball: "You're right, the costumes that my customers will wear in the little golden man award have already been made, and I don't want to owe favors, five sets will be five sets!" ”
Song Mu was stunned when he saw this series of operations.
Obviously Jeff knew that this was a little trick by Jenny, so he still agreed!
What she doesn't know is that although Jeff is a stubborn old man, he is also a very caring stubborn old man. In the words of Huaguo, it is a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
He was reluctant to violate his principles, but he knew that most of the people who came to Gasai were very urgent, so he had this little trick as a step for him not to adhere to his principles.
In fact, this little trick doesn't work every time. Whether it works or not is up to him to judge.
Jenny's table was full of Chinese, and he immediately guessed that Song Mu and others should be the producers of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".
He hadn't watched "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", but as the first Huaguo team to enter the Little Golden Man, he still had kindness to them.
Jeff has some understanding of the current situation in China. Even if he doesn't want Liu Difu's face, he is willing to help this group of struggling young people. It is for this reason that Jenny's little trick can succeed without any twists and turns.
Jenny didn't expect it to go so well, so she beckoned everyone to hurry up and taste the food.
A moment later, when Jeff ate the second serving of cinnamon cream toast, she said casually: "Jeff, do you see that Song has to make five sets of clothes so much, can it be regarded as a group custom and then discounted?" ”
